Winner of four Tony Awards in 2008, including Best Musical, ‘In The Heights’ has now been adapted for the silver screen. Anthony Ramos (Hamilton) sings and dances his way through the film, set during one hot day in Washington Heights, New York City, in the main role with music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Mary Poppins Returns).  

Delayed by a full year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it takes the stage on 18 June 2021.
